that being true, in Islam lay people are not suppose to have debate . it is the job of the ulema who has the prime responsibility to delve into these matters of cosmology that has connection with this argument while using it. it is definitely not the job of the lay person.
4.
so the argument should be and must be used only by The Scholars of theology who have solid ground and knowledge on this topic and who knows what they are talking about. not by the lake people who are using this argument to defend the deen for their own ego.
5.
the objection can also be answered from the fact that KCA does not necessarily depends upon any empirical evidence of cosmology. KCA can still be used even if the whole bigbang cosmology and all of its versions are rejected by the scientific community.
and it was also applicable when the steady state theory was consensus. In fact this is the beauty of the argument. The use of cosmology for the defence of its premise 2 is an extra feather on the hat.
6.
the finiteness of the universe in the past can be defended by the logic that an actual infinity it's impossible to exist. as an actual Infinity cannot exist, therefore universe is not eternal in the past.
7.
although arguments for the existence of actual infinity and for an universe which eternal past does exist, but they all as a whole does not have the same weight as their opponent. there are no good reasons to accept those arguments as they do not qualify as opposing defeater
8.
objections can be raised that the causal principal CP can't be applied for Big Bang Theory as it is and Quantum phenomena, and in quantum mechanics causality is Spooky. what is objection doesn't necessarily works because KCA argues about the beginning of the universe, not BBT.
9.
the fact that Big Bang being a Quantum phenomena which is in bad terms with the causal principle, is a problem of quantum mechanics, not of KCA.
10.
so in gyst:
1. KCA is a good argument and that can be used by theists (monotheists) test for their justification of belief.
2. Only Muslim Scholars of theology should discuss about the different shades and the technicalities regarding it ,but not the common muslims.
this argument can happily be defended without appealing to cosmology. And this argument works fine paralally along with other solid arguments.
this was my humble attempt to defend the use of this argument as a fan and a laymuslim. I can definitely be mistaken. and Allah knows the best.
